Female Friendships and Also Bisexuality: 3 Recommendations
by Michelle Burnham
1. Whoever decided to suddenly rocket-boost s visibility deserves a special award, and please let鈥檚 immediately write stupendous parts for all the other forgotten genius older women actresses. is about female stand up comedy, my favorite indulgence, and it鈥檚 a really lovely unexpected story about cross-generational female friendship. Ava鈥檚 bisexuality is one of the only parts of herself she doesn鈥檛 second guess, and is a kick as Kayla.

2. made everyone realize that comedy is just refunctioned trauma and Netflix鈥檚 gets at this connection in a completely different way. It鈥檚 also about women who love each other in the context of stand up comedy, and it may be the most bisexual show I have ever seen, especially in its currently running second season. Also, no one is more adorable than Mae Martin.

3. is a short story collection that made me realize that a) short story collections can do bisexuality in a way novels cannot and b) maybe we should all read more short story collections. Thank god for all the small and university presses out there finding and publishing great voices instead of just trying to make as much money as they possibly can. Buy from the University of West Virginia Press (NOT that other place) to support editorial visionaries!
